Hoping for some advice

in Trouble TTC

Hello All -

Based on the 1 year mark I don't yet qualify for Trouble TTC but I am hoping you can shed some light on what might be my next steps to maximize my next appointment.

A brief history: We stopped taking BC in August 2012 (Almost 9 months ago). Since then I have had only 1 very brief menses - not normal in any sort of way, but blood was present (vs spotting), this occurred mid November. Went to OB in January as instructed. Basically given the brush off despite a previous clinical diagnosis of PCOS and was basically walked through what PCOS pearles are. Told me it could take a year to get pregnant, call in April if no menses. Tested thyroid - normal. I now have a prescription for a 10 day provera prescription. If it induces menses I am to come in at 3 days after first day of bleeding to have my hormone levels checked. If no menses after 10 days I have been told to make an appointment.

  • If I do get menses after 3 days are there any other tests I should ask them to conduct other than hormone testing?
  •  If I don't get menses after 10 days, based on your experiences what would be appropriate next steps?

Thanks for any and all insight/knowledge.  

Sorry for the lack of abbreviations - I have the glossary of 'terms' downloaded on my other computer!

    Ask your dr what is included in the BW tests for cd 3.

    I don't have any experience with provera but if you don't get it, I would seek the help of another doctor.

    It can take your body a while to regulate, but that year of tryin
